With the influx of the caravans to the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) in Texas, there has been a significant increase in the number of 9-1-1 calls for migrant rescues. To provide location assistance to the migrants calling for assistance, the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) launched a program called Missing Migrant Location Marker which strategically places dozens of uniquely numbered placards around the RGV Sector; here is a local news story that outlines the problem and the placard placement- https://www.kveo.com/news/local-news/border-patrol-using-placards-to-rescue-immigrants-in-danger/1409820187). Unfortunately, RGV Sector had no way to connect the calls for service with the placards, no way to inform agents of the migrants location and no way to analyze the calls for service to improve the placard placement locations. To resolve these issues, they turned to the USBP Data Sciences Division (DSD). With the direct support of USBP DSD as well as assistance from the USBP Special Operations Group, USBP HQ GIS and the RGV Sector Intelligence Unit, DSD was able to create a set of enterprise applications within the CBP eGIS Portal to support this critical life-saving humanitarian mission. This session will discuss how this collaborative team achieved such ground breaking operational success in under three months. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on Social Media!
